The poll design certainly biases toward neutral because it has the closest to a factual statement as its qualifier rather than subjective statements.
I mentioned this earlier but all polls should not have the reason attached. Let the Thread be used for justification.

Well said ... representative of the web site, but maybe not the city as a whole or Calgary fandom as a whole.
Which then brings you to accuracy. Is the poll biased because most CP members are Flames fans? Or are any Flames fans of any type biased? Is it better to have educated fans voting? A Calgary Sun poll will have people that couldn't give a rip just selecting an option, but does that make a poll better?
Honestly seems like those that don't like the trade are looking for reasons to discount the fact that they're in the minority. Guess when it doubt moving the goal posts is better than other options.
